For information on the individual settings see the Effect Types section. A TS9000 DRIVE BIG PI EL RATON POWER STAGE LOW (EXP) MED (MIDI) NOISE GATE 1 BENDER SMOOTH TUBE METAL TUBE DRIVE OCTAVE FUZZ GATED FUZZ HIGH (HH) OUTPUT FUZZ FAÇADE CRUNCH TUBE TREBLE MID BASS CUT VOICE TONE SHAPE BOOST TONE 2 (HOLD) FLAT Controls: Knobs | 7 DRIVE (B) The DRIVE knob adjusts the amount of gain applied to the signal. Dial down the drive for a cleaner, more articulate tone and crank it up for over-the-top doses of distortion. VOICE (C) The VOICE knob adjusts a midrange control located within the distortion section of processing. This knob has a very different impact on the overall character of the distortion than a simple EQ adjustment. Turn the knob to the left for a warmer, cleaner tone and to the right for a thicker, more cutting drive. TS9000 DRIVE BIG PI EL RATON POWER STAGE B LOW (EXP) MED (MIDI) NOISE GATE 1 C 8 | Controls: Knobs D BENDER SMOOTH TUBE METAL TUBE DRIVE OCTAVE FUZZ GATED FUZZ HIGH (HH) OUTPUT FUZZ FAÇADE CRUNCH TUBE TREBLE F MID BASS CUT VOICE TONE SHAPE BOOST TONE 2 (HOLD) FLAT E OUTPUT (D) Adjusts the output level of the effect. This is useful for setting the level of the effect compared to the bypass signal. Note that because the effect compresses the signal, the dynamic range of the distorted signal will be less compared to the dry signal. This should be accounted for when setting levels. TONE (E) The TONE knob along with the TONE SHAPE control (F) will cut or boost the TREBLE, MID, or BASS frequencies, depending on which mode is selected. To flatten all three bands, press and hold the TONE SHAPE button (F) until all three LEDs blink two times. Flattening the TONE sets the knob positions of TREBLE, MID, and BASS to 12 o’clock. TREBLE Press button to select option MID BASS TONE SHAPE (HOLD) FLAT Note: Since the Soundblox 2 OFD microModeler preset values can differ from the physical knob positions, it can be useful to determine the positions of the preset knob values. To do this, start with the pedal in bypass and set all of the knobs to the full counter-clockwise position. Next, enable the preset and slowly turn each knob up, one at a time, until the preset indicator LED begins to blink rapidly. When this happens, the current position of the knob matches the saved value. Controls: Knobs | 9 CONTROLS: BUTTONS NOISE GATE This control allows for quick adjustments to the noise gate threshold. Since distortion effects can have very high signal gain, the background noise and hum are also gained up and can become undesirably loud. Enabling the noise gate on the Soundblox 2 OFD microModeler will help silence the background noise when the guitar is not being played. There are four noise gate threshold levels: OFF (all LEDs off), LOW, MED, HIGH. LOW being the lowest threshold and least aggressive gate action, HIGH being the highest threshold with the most gating action Note: this button is also used to select and control the function of an external controller through the MULTI-FUNCTION input. See the External Control section. LOW (EXP) Press button to select option MED (MIDI) NOISE GATE 10 | Controls: Buttons HIGH (HH) TONE SHAPE There are three selectable EQ shapes: TREBLE, MID, and BASS. This control works in conjunction with the TONE knob. Press the TONE SHAPE button to scroll through the three tone control options. The TONE knob will adjust the level of cut or boost for the selected frequency range. The three tone shapes can be set independently and will not affect each other. If you need to quickly set all of the three bands back to the default flat setting (the 12 o’clock knob position), simply press and hold the TONE SHAPE button for 2 seconds. The TREBLE, MID, and BASS LEDs will rapidly blink three times, indicating that they have been reset. FACTORY RESET Should you wish to perform a factory reset, unplug the power supply from the pedal, then press and hold the TONE SHAPE button while plugging the power supply back in. Continue holding the TONE SHAPE button until the 1 and 2 preset LEDs blink in succession — this will erase any saved presets. TREBLE Press button to select option MID BASS TONE SHAPE (HOLD) FLAT Controls: Buttons | 11 CONTROLS: FOOTSWITCHES There are two footswitches on the OFD. The left footswitch corresponds to preset 1 and the right footswitch corresponds to preset 2. Pressing either of the footswitches will engage its respective preset. Pressing the engaged footswitch will put the effect back into bypass mode and pressing the unengaged footswitch will change to the other preset without going into bypass. The illumination of the LEDs labeled “1” and “2” indicate which preset is currently enabled. While the effect is in bypass mode both LEDs remain off. When a preset is enabled and any sort of adjustment is made, the indicator LED for that preset will begin to blink, showing that the preset has been edited. After a preset has been edited, save it by pressing and holding either footswitch. The corresponding LED will blink quickly to indicate that the preset has been saved. Once changes are saved, the LED will illuminate continuously. An edited preset can be saved to either of the two preset locations. For example if preset 1 has been selected and edited, it can be saved to preset location 2 by pressing and holding the right footswitch. Note: Changes made to a preset will be lost if you go into bypass or switch to another preset without saving. 12 | Controls: Footswitches EFFECT TYPES Here are some brief descriptions of the effects included in the Soundblox 2 OFD microModeler. TS9000 BIG PI EL RATON FUZZ FAÇADE CRUNCH TUBE POWER STAGE BENDER SMOOTH TUBE METAL TUBE DRIVE OCTAVE FUZZ GATED FUZZ TUBE DRIVE TUBE DRIVE offers a vintage tube overdrive reminiscent of a Marshall Plexi. At lower drive levels this effect creates a punchy overdrive perfect for chunky rhythm tones. Crank the DRIVE knob for cutting lead tones. SMOOTH TUBE The SMOOTH TUBE overdrive offers a heavily saturated tone reminiscent of Mesa-Boogie® amplifiers. This aggressive approach to overdrive with its boosted highs and lows generates the thick, focused and heavily sustaining tone that inspired countless artists from Carlos Santana to Metallica. Effect Types | 13 POWER STAGE POWER STAGE provides a tone similar to the Fulltone OCD®. It’s a versatile effect that falls somewhere between tube overdrive and transistor distortion, rich with warm overtones and a thick, punchy grind. CRUNCH TUBE CRUNCH TUBE is an extra aggressive tube overdrive effect that boldly goes where no amp has gone before. If your current overdrive doesn’t have quite enough hair on it, reach for the CRUNCH TUBE. TS9000 Based on the Ibanez Tube Screamer®, the TS9000 supplies a go-to tone for rock and contemporary blues players alike. A subtle midrange bump provides a punchy and transparent overdrive that cuts through any mix. BIG PI Based on the Big Muff Pi®, BIG PI offers the extreme in guitar fuzz. Plenty of low-end and endless sustain creates a vintage “violin” like fuzz. EL RATON The EL RATON creates a classic and versatile distortion reminiscent of the ProCo Rat®. Dial in sparkling low-gain tones or intense distortion drenched lead tones. FUZZ FAÇADE The FUZZ FAÇADE generates a vintage fuzz inspired by the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face®. This highly transparent fuzz delivers that damaged speaker sound that has graced so many great records. 14 | Effect Types BENDER Based on the MK II Tone Bender®, the BENDER effect provides the thick, heavily saturated fuzz synonymous with Yardbirds era Beck or early Zeppelin era Page. Fat chords and maximum sustain lead tones characterize this timeless fuzz. METAL Our METAL distortion provides a heaping dose of the heavily saturated, “scooped” tone synonymous with the metal genre. Searing highs and thunderous lows reign in this hardline distortion. OCTAVE FUZZ The OCTAVE FUZZ is based on the original octave pedal, the Octavia®. This selection generates a soaring octave up effect along with some very nasty fuzz. Try turning down the tone knob on your guitar to really bring out the higher octave. GATED FUZZ The GATED FUZZ offers a thick, fuzz-heavy tone with a unique attack and decay. An internal high threshold noise gate combined with an intense “Velcro” like fuzz give this effect its abrupt attack and sputtering decay. Don’t worry, your amp isn’t about to explode — that’s how the GATED FUZZ was designed to sound. Effect Types | 15 EXTERNAL CONTROL One of the Core Features of the Soundblox 2 line of effects is the MULTIFUNCTION Input. The MULTI-FUNCTION input is an intelligent control input that accepts both digital and analog control signals. It replaces the SENSOR input on previous Soundblox pedals. The MULTI-FUNCTION input connects to wired or wireless Hot Hand accessories, the Source Audio Dual Expression Pedal, or a future Source Audio MIDI interface that will enable full MIDI I/O access to the pedal. Selecting an external control input: Press and hold the TONE SHAPE button, then quickly press the NOISE GATE button — the LOW/(EXP) LED will turn from green to red. This will change the function of the NOISE GATE button. Now press the NOISE GATE button again to select between the control options. The options are indicated in white text below the gate level labels. There are four possible settings: LOW (EXP) Press button to select option MED (MIDI) NOISE GATE HIGH (HH) • OFF (no LEDs on): External control is disabled in this mode • EXP: Expression Pedal mode. Select EXP to enable use with the SA161 Source Audio Dual Expression Pedal. By default, the expression pedal will control the Morph (see the Morphing section for details). The Expression Pedal can also be assigned 16 | External Control to control any individual knob parameter. • MIDI: MIDI control mode. Select this mode to enable MIDI I/O • HH: Hot Hand mode. Select HH to enable Hot Hand control. through the Soundblox 2 MIDI Interface By default, Hot Hand will be assigned to control the morph parameter. Hot Hand can also be also be assigned to control any individual knob parameter. Press the NOISE GATE button again while holding the TONE SHAPE button to resume normal Noise Gate adjustments. CONTROL ASSIGN By default, all external control units (Hot Hand, Expression Pedal, or MIDI) are mapped to control the morphing function, but it may be desirable to assign external control to an individual knob parameter. To assign control to a knob: 1. E  nsure that you are in external control edit mode (NOISE GATE LEDs are red) 2. S  elect the desired external control option: EXP for expression pedal, HH for Hot Hand, or MIDI. 3. P  ress and hold the NOISE GATE button until the red LED begins to blink slowly. 4. S  elect the knob to which you would like to assign external control and turn it to the desired low position. 5. P  ress the NOISE GATE button again; the LED will start blinking rapidly. 6. Set the assigned knob to your desired high position. 7. Press the NOISE GATE button one more time to complete the assignment. The LED will blink three times, indicating the process is complete. To return to the default Morph control, set the external control to OFF. Press and hold the NOISE GATE button again until all three LEDs blink External Control | 17 rapidly. Note: Different control assignments can be used for each preset. Don’t forget to save your settings! MORPHING The MULTI-FUNCTION control input can be used to morph between the two presets. For example, if preset 1 is saved as a low gain TUBE DRIVE and preset 2 is saved as a high gain BIG PI tone you can transform from Preset 1 to Preset 2 by rocking a Source Audio Expression Pedal from heel to toe (this process can also be performed with Hot Hand or a MIDI control device). As you morph between the presets, the two footswitch LEDs will change brightness depending on where you are in the transition. It’s worth mentioning that the morphing function is not a cross fade between two sounds, but rather a gradual shift between each preset’s individual parameters. So the middle of the expression pedal range is truly an “in-between” sound. Some obvious applications are morphing from clean to distorted sounds, low drive settings to high drive settings, changes in volume, or between dramatically different sounds. The expression pedal can be effectively inverted depending on which preset is initially enabled. Keep in mind that adjusting knobs while using the expression pedal will only control the originally selected preset, independent of the expression pedal position. Also, while tweaking presets to get the desired pair of sounds for morphing, don’t forget to save before switching to the other preset. 18 | External Control MIDI CONTROL The Soundblox 2 OFD microModeler can be controlled via general MIDI messages. In order to use the MIDI functionality, the unit requires a Source Audio Soundblox 2 MIDI Adapter. Please check www.sourceaudio. net for availability. The adapter connects to the MULTI-FUNCTION input and provides standard MIDI IN and OUT 5-pin DIN connectors. Using Soundblox 2 pedals with MIDI greatly extends the functionality of the units. Having MIDI I/O allows for remote automation, external controllers, firmware updates and more. If you have more than one Soundblox 2 pedal, only one MIDI Adapter is necessary — the Soundblox 2 MIDI adapter will simultaneously control multiple Soundblox 2 pedals. For information on using your Soundblox 2 with MIDI and for MIDI mappings, please visit our website at www.sourceaudio.net. External Control | 19 USE WITH HOT HAND® All Soundblox pedals are compatible with our Hot Hand accessories. Hot Hand units consist of a ring-mounted accelerometer that translates motion into a control signal that can be applied to effect parameters. On the OFD, connect Hot Hand to the Multi-Function input. Select the HH mode as the external control option. This will take the input signals from Hot Hand and use them to control either the Morphing function or the assigned knob parameter (See Control Assign Section). The Soundblox 2 OFD microModeler can also be calibrated to change the midpoint of the Hot Hand control range — for instructions, follow the calibration procedure below. Note that Calibration is only used for Hot Hand mode and calibration is NOT required before use. To perform a calibration: 1. S  elect a preset by pressing a footswitch. 2. E  nable Hot Hand control by selecting HH mode from the external controls (See External Control section). 3. P  ress and hold the NOISE GATE button until the HH red LED begins to blink slowly (this is the same as the control assign procedure). 4. Put the Hot Hand sensor into the desired calibration position. 5. Press the footswitch for the currently selected preset. 6. The HH LED will blink when the calibration is complete. If you have trouble with calibration and need to get back to the default setting, place the sensor on a flat, level surface with the blue LED facing down and run the calibration procedure again. 20 | Use with Hot Hand UNIVERSAL BYPASS™ Most effect pedals offer either true or buffered bypass. Soundblox 2 pedals offer Universal Bypass, which allows you to select between the two. We recommend choosing between the OFD’s active analog (a.k.a. buffered bypass) and relay-based true bypass (a.k.a. true bypass) based on your pedalboard’s signal chain (Ideally, the first pedal in a signal chain would be a buffered input followed by true bypass in the rest of the signal chain). By default, the OFD is set to relay-based true bypass. To switch the pedal to buffered bypass, press and hold the right footswitch while powering up the pedal. Continue to hold the footswitch until the corresponding LED blinks three times. The pedal is now in buffered bypass. To switch back to true bypass, replicate this process with the left footswitch. Both bypass methods have clear advantages. Buffered bypass provides consistent input impedance, so if the input instrument is susceptibl to variations in input impedance (like a guitar pickup), there won’t be a noticeable change in tone. True bypass has the benefit of providing a dedicated hardwire bypass signal path. However, hardwire connections require mechanically complex 3PDT (3-pole, double throw) switches, which are not design to accommodate audio level signals. The OFD microModeler offers a solution to this problem with its special relaybased true bypass, which is a far superior design for audio level signals.
